Nu Skin's Galvanic Spa System - A Skeptic's Review

 

I’m a beauty product skeptic.  After doing a fair bit of reading, consulting with dermatologists, and studying the Oil of Olay moisturized, practically wrinkle-free face of my 93-year-old grandmother, I’ve sworn off the beautifully packaged expensive stuff.  I’ve got some Renova that I occasionally use along with some cheap Aveeno moisturizer – but that’s it. Suffice to say when a girlfriend of mine announced she’d become a Nu Skin distributor, my honest to God first thought was "yeech. this sounds a little like that freaky Amway company."   But her complete and utter passion for their Galvanic Spa System home facial system was attention getting. Printed promotional materials for the product claim the hand-held device and accompanying gels can rejuvenate the complexion, reduce body cellulite and stimulate hair growth.  My curiosity was particularly piqued when she told me that it erases wrinkles right before your eyes with just one session.   She offered to do half my face – so I could do a comparison myself. What have you got to lose I thought? 

However, driving to the appointment, I was a bit nervous.  What if I didn’t see a difference?  Would I have to pull my best Julia Roberts so I wouldn’t hurt her feelings (I've done this before)?  Or would I just be honest and kindly suggest she get her eyes checked?  In my skeptic mind, this was a lose-lose situation and I was anxious to get it over with. Her claim simply could not be true. 

 

Before we get to my treatment, a word on how the home spa system apparently works. Nu Skin claims that negatively charged Galvanic action from the machine repels the negatively charged “Pretreat Gel” into the skin.  Next the Galvanic device is charged positively thus drawing the “Pretreat Gel” and impurities out. Finally, a second gel that’s applied, described as “positively charged gel”, drives beneficial ingredients “plus Age Loc” deep into the skin.  What does all that mean?  I have no idea.  But the weirdest thing is it worked!

Debra, my Nu Skin friend facialist, basically applied two gels to half of my face and then ran the pulsating machine over it. The device looks essentially like an electric razor with three attachments – for face, scalp and body. The whole procedure took about ten minutes.  Afterwards, we went outside (better light) to compare the side of my face that had had the treatment, with the side that was not treated. I was shocked to discover the wrinkles around my eyes, forehead and between my mouth and nose were noticeably reduced. The difference between the right and left sides of my face was, in fact, jarring.  I stopped in at a friend’s house on the way home to see if she noticed a difference and the first thing she said when she saw me was, “Wow, did you get some bad Botox?  Your face is drooping on one side.” She pointed to the untreated half of my face. Not exactly what I want to hear after a facial, but a testimonial to the product's effectiveness nevertheless!

So, bottom line: the procedure definitely works. However, as with all beauty treatments, there are some negatives.  First off, at $350 for the device and 60$/month for the gels, it ain't cheap.  Plus, you have to use the system every three days to maintain the look.  I spoke to three women who bought the system this past year and only one is still using it – occasionally.  One got sick of the time investment, the other got sick of shelling out for the gels.  The gal who's still using it says she likes to do a treatment when she has a special occasion and wants to really perk herself up.  So, would I buy this product myself?  Honestly, it's not for me right now.  But if the economy was better, and I was anticipating my 20 year high school reunion, rather than reflecting upon it, I just might.

Hi,

This galvanic spa system is quite interesting. Does it help
to solve freckles, pigmentation or acne problems?

[viagra online]

honestly it causes me several doubts

Bring the benefits of a spa experience home with you. Rejuvenate your complexion, revitalize your scalp, and refine your body.

[Claire Calo]

Ive been having great succes with the galvanic spa and have only given myself 6 treatments, and would highly advice all those skeptics to take a risk the alternative isn't better

[Linda@shesez]

Hey Claire - yes i agree - the results are there. The only thing is you really have to commit to doing it - i.e. taking the time to use the hand held device on your face. If you can commit - it's a great idea and alternative to botox and fillers!

[At Home Spa]

Good to know that the product acually works.. Thanks for sharing your story..

[Julie]

Yes, I can definitely say it does work. The thing is tho - you need to commit to using it every few days - or the results go away. If you can do that, it's a fantastic idea.

I am an active Nu Skin distributor. I do demonstrations with the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa daily and love the results I can show people. I am not a salesperson, so I appreciate a product that can sell its self in less than 10 minutes.

Nu Skin’s R&D is light years ahead of the competition. These products work and the research has been confirmed by a number reputable Universities, such as Purdue and Stanford, and other major research facilities,like Lifegen tech. Ageloc properties stop the skin from aging at a Genetic level! How amazing is that? The new Galvanic Spa, ageloc edition, is incredible. It is 500% more effective than the one discribed in this article. It’s a see for yourself experience.

If anyone is interested in discussing Nu Skin’s products I am very knowledgeable and would love to answer your questions. You just found the fountain of youth! Email me with your number and I will get back to ASAP! Brookedalling@gmail.com

Hello ladies,

The galvanic spa has been all over national news and is used by many top celebrity artists. Toni Braxton was interviewed on Fox last month talking about the galvanic spa device! It was also featured on San Diego KUSI news last week! The galvanic device is the only device that reverses and stops again at its source – the genes! I have amazing before and after images that I can share with you for many dermatological concerns: age spots, stretch marks, cellulite, wrinkles, lines, acne, puffiness and bags under the eye area, marionette lines….etc. I would recommend it to anyone at any age! You have nothing to lose but everything to gain! It only takes 10 minutes per treatment!

Feel free to contact me at nksalem@verizon.net or call me at 909-636-2203 for more information.

Linda - I am so glad you wrote about this. I bought into the product a couple of years ago from a very nice lady who is now living in the Governor's Mansion (our First Lady). Crazy schedules being what they are, I hadn't taken the thing out of the box until I read your posting. I have been using it now and it works wonders!! I also became officially a distributor so I could get the discount.

I was also a skeptic when introduced to this product but after using it and seeing that it really does work I then sign on as a distributor. The Galvanic Spa II with AgeLoc gels has taken care of sagging skin, wrinkles, pigmentation and more. Over time it gets better and better. My feelings about cosmetic surgery is this - it may not turn out the way you want it to and botox I feel is so unnatural and unhealthy another risk. With the Galvanic Spa, no risk just healthy glowing skin that looks younger and is younger.

[Sam]

I have a problem after using Nuskin galvanic spa. Does any one have any problem. If any, how did you solve that?

Hi,
First I want to thank Linda Grasso for the blog she wrote on the Galvanic Spa. As you can see many comments are from distributors and would love to have you as a customer. I believe in finding out actually what your skin problems are and then taking it from there. If we just suggest buying the Galvanic Spa it may not be the solution to your problem or problems. Good analysis has always worked best in my business which is Nu Skin. I love many of the products but there are very specific products for your individual needs. Please visit my facebook page which is Antiaging Solutions With Sarah Antos. I am happy to help. Refer a friend.

For the person who was asking about ACNE, the treatment I would recommend is the Nu Skin Clear Action System. To all of those people spamming your Nu Skin ID's, this doesn't look good on our company. If anyone reading this would like to know more, i sugesst you contact the owner of this blog (who may well be a distributor after the interest on this page) so she can put her friend Debra on to you... after all, Debra is the one who has done the demo and work here

I agree. Nu Skin is many many years ahead of the skin care industry. Excited to be on board soon.

[Scott in Charlotte, NC]

I just was introduced to NuSkin. I was the male model for a meeting room full of people. I was very pleasantly surprised at the results of my half face demo.

I have spent the last 15 years with a pharmaceutical company. Recently I was laid off. Im glad Ive found NuSkin. I am confident in the products and the company. Look at the 3 yr chart on their stock (NUS on the NYSE) Its gone from 9 - 45 as of today.

I am now a distributor and partnering with the physicians I used to call on. If anyone is interested in finding out more about the company, becoming a distributor, or if you are a physician, dentist, opthalmologist, or own another business let me show you how you can bring in additional income.
